2 O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan's tyranny;
From depths of hell Thy people save,
And give them victory o'er the grave.

3 0 come, Thou Dayspring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here:

And drive away the shades of night,
And pierce the clouds and bring us light.

4 O come, Thou Key of David, come,
And open wide our heavenly home;
Make safe the way that leads on high,
And close the path to misery.

Latin Antiphons, XI Century.

Thou-sand thou-sand saints at tend -ing, Swell the tri- umph of His train: Those who set at naught, and sold Him, Pierced, and nailed Him to the tree,
